You're invited to a free screening of the WVIA documentary Seeking the Greatest Good: The Conservation Legacy of Gifford Pinchot on Saturday, June 15 at dusk at Grey Towers National Historic Site.

The 56-minute film will start at dusk (approximately 7:30pm).

us on a driving tour of privately owned forested properties located
within the Upper Delaware River Basin and learn how participation in the
Common Waters Fund helps landowners conserve and manage their forests.
Learn how healthy forests in this region provide clean drinking water
for more than 15 million people downstream and how the health and
existence of these forests are threatened by the pressures of
development.
